Product Details anti-IL2 Antibody

This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. This purified antibody has been heated to 56°C for 30 minutes. In ELISA and other immunoreactive assays, this antibody will recognize both native and recombinant human IL-2 in cell supernatants and certain body fluids. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG is recommended.

Characteristics

IL-2 is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.

Application Details

This purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. By western blot a band approximately 15 kDa in size corresponding to human IL-2 protein is expected in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
